    Silver needle: the presser foot that sews curves is the Curve Master. Haven't used it, but have watched demos - it seems to work well.

    I have the Curvemaster foot and there is quite a learning curve to it! I only played with it one day, trying to put an apple core together. I still need more practice!!!

    I also bought the entire set also. Every month for a year, a charge on my CC and the rulers would show up. I did use them for a quilt, which turned out really nice. It does make curved pieces really really easy to do. Basically you use a double sticky narrow tape (which later dissolves) to secure the two curved pieces together when sewing. I do wish they were sold in a large and small set so I didn't have to spend so much money. Concept does work though! Will have to take another look at them when we move into a new house in 4 months.

    That foot was called a Curve Master.

    I thought about buying those templates but I talked myself out of it. I might have to change my mind. I have the curved piecing foot somewhere but I can't find it. I would like to find it for my next project

    The tape is called Wonder Tape. It's great to match seams on any quilt block. It washes out completely. I use it instead of pins for applique. JoAnns sells it.

    Gee I must live in a cave for I have never seen or heard of these before! They look interesting. Look forward to seeing your future projects made with these. Remind us that you used these templates ok. Have fun!
